I love your ‘Treads’ design. Thank you for such an interesting pattern. May I have your permission to use it during a KAL I am doing this summer featuring gloves/mittens/ fingerless mitts at the LYS where I work? I will not be charging for the pattern.
Thank you for a response.
Sincerely,
Tyna

  Of course you may, Tyna. I am honoured that you would use my pattern. I hope that you find it helpful.
  
  I’d love to know how it works out. And please let me know if you have any suggestions on the pattern after your experience.
  
  Thank you for asking and happy knitting!

Hi Victoria
Did you get my previous email , asking if your pattern is equivalent to an Australian 8 ply, or would you have an 8 ply pattern for gloves you would share with me please.

Cheers Ronny

Hello,

I found your Treads pattern at my LYS and feel in love with it. I am having problems with the Fourchette stitches as I don’t have a clue how to do these. I have googled , youtube and tried twitter. No luck with understanding how these are made. Could you help please. I can’t wait to wear these but they have been sitting for a week now.

  Hi Robin, I’m sorry you’ve been struggling. I think the mere name of the “fourchette” makes it sound complicated, but it’s actually quite simply an increase using the “single cast-on” using the working yarn. A great video of the single cast on, can be found here at knittinghelp.com, a fantastic site that you may already be familiar with. It’s the second video down on the cast on page. So really fourchettes are just simple loops, so be sure to knit them tightly on the next round. I hope this helps. Please let me know how it goes.
